"Don't you think she has been acting strange?" Rose feeling so angry at who ever had that bad influence on Anna and she knew it could not be Wayne or Debby.
"I . . .," Debby began but stopped when she t Anna's cold gaze. She moved her gaze to Rose and decided to keep quiet unwilling to get into the middle of the sisters' argunt.
She might have been friends with Anna since elentary school but she knew family always had a stronger connection than friends. Any answer she gives will make her get on the bad side of one of them so it was best she stays far away.
"Excuse ," Debby said raising her hands up in surrender and ran out of the room.
"What do you an by that?" Anna asked when her friend left.
"I think you we are having so type of misunderstanding," she told Anna making herself comfortable on the sofa.
"You went away that night, I was so worried why didn't you tell where you went to that night," Anna said also making herself comfortable.
"Why do you keep talking about that night?" Rose asked slling a rat. Since almost no body could know it was Liam who took her away that night, were they trying to use Anna to get the answer?
"Because I can't forget that night, I went down stairs but you were gone after the party and you were not at ho too. I was so scared. I thought you got kidnapped like I was."
"If that is what keeps bothering you so much, shouldn't you be happy that I am fine and not hurt?" Rose asked sensing the sincerity in her sister's reply.
"I am happy that you are fine but it is unfair that you are keeping the truth from despite how worried I was," Anna replied frowning.
"What if that truth does not concern alone? What if I tell you and soone gets hurt? Just imagine if the king took a fancy to and took ho? Do you want to expose the na of soone so important?"
At the ntion of the person that holds the highest power in the kingdom, Anna stopped pestering her sister and kept quiet. She frowned knowing Rose was trying to protect the identity of the person.
Rose was not wrong by using the king because the person was also powerful. He was perhaps more powerful than the king in the underground world although he also maintained a powerful position as the richest man in the kingdom.
"What about the parcel?" Anna had to ask unable to ward off her curiousity.
"Eric sent a fabric he ca across. The fabric is very expensive. I don't want it to get stained that's why I refused to let you open. He did not tell the type of fabric," Rose answered seriously as she stood up and gave the parcel to Anna after unwrapping it. "Try not to stain it."
Anna could not get the feeling of guilt she felt seeing the smooth silk fabric in her hand. She frowned, when did she get so serious about knowing everything about her sister.
She knew that Rose was a little reserved and she found it hard to talk about herself, her past in the orphanage and she was cool with it until . . .
After careful thoughts she decided it was because her sister was no longer spending ti with her and from the mont she woke, she always wanted to spend as much ti as she could with her sister but they were drifting apart and she was scared that she will lose her sister finally.
She stood up giving the fabric to Rose with a pout. "I am sorry," Anna apologized her face blushing in embarrassnt.
"I am still unhappy with you," Rose said taking the fabric from her carefully and turned to leave the room.
"Do you want to use the fabric to sew a cloth for ?" Anna asked trying to act natural with her usual joviality.
"No," Rose replied trying to sound as cold as she could sound despite the warmth she felt from seeing her sister try to coax her.
"So, who do you want to use it for?" Anna asked hugging Rose's hand.
"It is none of your business," Rose replied frowning.
"I am still curious about the person who saved you but I decided to let it go since it is sothing that concerns two people and it will not be good to give up the identity the person was trying hard to protect even if I am your sister," Anna said sweetly but try to hint her displeasure in the last part of the sentence.
"I don't care what you think," Rose replied brusquely.
"I know you don't," Anna said using a fake high pitched voice that made Rose feel the string urge to cover her ears.
"I don't care whoever you decide to be friends with but don't talk about with anybody else. I don't feel good about soone else knowing sothing about ," Rose warned her sister trying hard not to make to make it obvious that she had a suspect in mind.
"Even with Debby?" Anna asked shocked by the warning.
"Yes, if she wants to know sothing about , she should ask . I don't feel good about you tell anyone anything about ," Rose tried to make to make repetitions hoping her sister won't let a word slip out to anyone else about her.
"Oh, sure. I will just tell her to ask you," Anna agreed nodding.
"Yes, even strangers," Rose said as a passing thought hoping her sister will take note of it.
"Sure, no will know anything about you from ," Anna said naturally without picking offense or finding the warning suspicious. "I don't even know anything about you."
"Sa here. I don't know anything about you too," Rose said jokingly.
"Do you know know how I got to like Mia?" Anna asked when they walked into Rose's workroom.
"No."
"She sang a song for on my seventh birthday. She is a celebrity under dad's company. She was so beautiful. She was young then and I can't forget the sincere smiles she wore. She was different from any other celebrity. I also got to participate in a photoshoot with her when I beca nine years old."
Rose nodded listening to the story her sister told as she began working on the small but precious fabric Eric gifted her.
She had never been interested in the life of any celebrity she was too busy trying to make a fa of her own however, she wanted to listen to what her sister loved.
Perhaps if she spent so more ti with her sister, her sister will be too busy to get influenced badly by whoever was ssing up with her sister's mind.
"Have you ever thought of doing anything apart from becoming an engineer?" Rose asked.
"A model, you made like modelling. I will simply beco a model if I get bored of being an engineer. If that is possible," Anna replied looking around Rose's workroom. "Is this dress mine?"
"Yes, I am not done. It is missing sothing very important and I am yet to find out what it is."
"I love it this way," Anna said taking the cloth off the mannequin carefully.
"No, I will give you when I am sure it is finished and presentable," Rose stopped her and had to return the cloth to the mannequin.
"Are you still angry with ? I know I ssed up. I should have not been so childish and thoughtless but now, I understand. I know what I did is wrong but I won't repeat it," Anna apologized and stopped with a pout as moisture filled her eyes.
"Hey, don't cry or I will send you out of this room. I know you are sorry. If you are about to cry because you want to take the dress now, then don't try to hard because I won't give you until I am done."
Anna pouted more and stord out of the room.
"Slowly I will find out who the person is. Who is bent on finding out who I went with that night?" Rose murmured.
